2025 Sapporo Snow Festival Features Monster Hunter Wilds Art
Capcom announced that it has set up a snow sculpture art based on its upcoming game Monster Hunter Wilds at the 2025 Sapporo Snow Festival. People who are residing in the capital city of Japan's Hokkaido prefecture can see the sculpture at Odori Park until February 11, 2025. The Monster Hunter Wilds snow sculpture features a Palico Felyne and the monster Arkveld, with another separate block featuring an engraving of the game's logo. While the Palico has been regarded as the series' mascot, Capcom chose Arkveld not only because it is the flagship monster that will appear in the new game's boxart, but also because its "White Wraith" nickname also fits well with the white snow sculpture. The Sapporo Snow Festival, which is held annually in the city, has occasionally featured sculptures based on famous Japanese game and anime franchises. For example, in the 2024 edition, Bandai Namco set up a snow sculpture modeled after the Rising Freedom Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom movie, which launched in the same year. The 2025 Sapporo Snow Festival takes place from February 4 to 11, 2025. One of the snow sculptures in the event features Monster Hunter Wilds, which Capcom will release worldwide for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 28, 2025.
